my republican friends should take a lesson from the election. what the electorate said is, stop pitting one group against another. we are ready to make ourselves safe. the only way to make ourself safe is by allowing people to come out of the shadows and register with the government and be good citizens and be good partners and be committed people. >> congressman, obviously, the economy has taken top priority. what about this? do you have assurances from the president that this is the path he is going to travel in his second term. >> i have absolutely no doubt that this administration -- >> are you going to get what you want, you think? >> i think the president is going to roll up his sleeves in an unprecedented manner for two reasons. number one, he saw what happened on election day. he saw colorado. he saw arizona. even arizona where we may have lost. he saw the gains that we made there. in new mexico and in nevada and florida. he saw a community come forward and embrace him in his position, number one. plus, this president knows, it is the ri

>> well, i was just elected as you know, re-elected. and our campaign materials during the campaign spelled out that the only pledge i would be honoring would be the pledge of the oath of office that you make when you're sworn in. that's what my comments meant. i think republicans had shown a willingness to look at revenues as long as we have entitlement reform. i think those are the two ends of the spectrum. and it appears to me that speaker boehner has been shown flexibility in revenues and it appears to me the president has shown flexibility on entitlements. and the point of my op ed this morning was look, it's so much easier for us to go ahead and make these decisions and put them behind us and start the new year with economic growth having dealt with these issues than it is to negotiate some process where we kick the can down the road and deal with this six months from now with a more limited menu and more draconian steps, because we've dug a deeper hole. >> you're talking about capping deductions let's say at 30,000 or $50,000 per
